perfect!
People criticising the long stages expecting huge gaps.. only 14 sec covers top 5.
Plus 'big' gaps can be closed by driver pushes or small mechanicals over these many kms.
Tanak start well -0.6
Yaris tyre-warming !

Was not able to solve the problem, but now the radio is working!
WRC Promoter should learn from this. Over a thousand people watching, staring at an empty backdrop waiting for a rally car. So much desire there from rally fans. And this particularly taps into what you experience when you are stage side.Quote:

It looks like that with more tyre wear Evans will struggle to fight with the fastest R5 cars.
Tänak basically minute faster than last year with Dmacks
only 15sec faster from laast year
So, admit you have been worried for a long time they should perform good even this time. What a relief for you it must have been. But the rally just started.Quote:

It's tricky to compare the editions. The conditions are never exactly same.Quote:

"The pace is very nice but in the wide roads I'm struggling with the balance. For sure, it's not so nice even though we made some changes after the first stage."
it could be there car is fast.. and meeke doesnt have to try JUST as hard?Quote:

Paddon soon catching Evans...
Game over for Kopecký, obviously he needs either to cruise without powersteering (really nice job on such twisty roads) for whole day or to retire.
Another M-Sport engine problem?Quote:

. @krismeeke's time 18:22.3 this year compared to 18:50.3 last year for an identical 29.12 km long stage.
That is 0.96 sec/km quicker
Probably also his chances of doing any proper WRC2 campaign :(Quote:

Have to say - given their relative WRC car experience - that it bodes well for Craig to already be on Dani's level. In his 11th full WRC drive.
I see Sordo now in a bit of a 'gatekeeper' type role in the WRC. A real solid driver. Not going to win rallies but a good pro and benchmark. But if you want to excel in the WRC you need to be quicker than him.
I think this year we will see that Tanak is the next guy to move consistently above the 'Sordo line'.
Shame Sordo never got to shine...
Sordo always has been, and always will be a journeyman...Quote:
